In addition to The Book of Discipline, General Conference also passes statements addressing specific concerns. These concerns are published in The Book of Resolutions and are the official positions of the denomination. Other units of The United Methodist Church may address these issues, but only General Conference speaks for the worldwide denomination.
The Book of Resolutions contains all current social policies adopted by the General Conference of The United Methodist Church. The Resolutions guide the work and ministry of the church on almost 200 subjects presented in seven sections:
The Natural World
The Nurturing Community
The Social Community
The Economic Community
The Political Community
The World Community
and Other Resolutions

Fifth Sunday, Jan 29
On January 29, our guest proclaimer will be Luella Krieger of Visitor from the Past Ministries, as she portrays Lydia, seller of purple cloth.
Luella becomes many different people as she ministers. She is, for example, Lydia, Seller of Purple Cloth, and several other ladies from Biblical Times who step out of the pages of the Bible to take folks back in time to experience the scriptures first hand. She also portrays various characters who try to make the gospel stories more real to those who hear them.
You are invited to sign up on the Narthex bulletin board to bring a dish, (main, salad, side, or dessert, or 2 bottles soda, or a bag of ice, or help in the kitchen) for our Fifth Sunday Luncheon which will follow the worship service on January 29.
